per the atf, it is against the law for a user of certain controlled substances, including cocaine, to possess a firearm. today's news comes less than two months after a plea agreement between hunter biden and federal prosecutors fell apart after the judge refused to sign off on it. we have a lot of new details to bring you tonight, and cbs's catherine herridge is here to start us off. good evening, catherine. >> reporter: good evening, norah. this is an extraordinary situation for the attorney general, whose department is prosecuting the leading candidate for the g.o.p. nomination, former president donald trump, and the president's son, at the same time, who is facing new legal jeopardy. the three felony counts hunter biden faces stem from his possession of a handgun in october 2018, identified in court records as a colt cobra 38 special revolver. the president's son is accused of making a false and fictitious statement about his drug use on a federal gun form and to a firearms dealer. the third count alleges he did knowingly possess a firearm

while on drugs. tom dupree is a former senior justice department official. how serious are the charges? >> these are all charges that carry fairly significant potential jail terms. >> reporter: the president's son had previously reached an agreement on the charge of gun possession that avoided prosecution, if he had abided by the terms for two years. but that deal, which included misdemeanor tax charges, collapsed. his lawyer insisted today the gun agreement remains valid, saying the evidence has not changed, but the law has, and so has maga republicans' improper and partisan interference in this process. a senior house republican, who is at the center of the newly-announced impeachment inquiry into the president, said the charges fell short. >> this is the one crime he committed that you cannot tie joe biden into. >> reporter: hunter biden has openly admitted his past struggle with addiction, as he told "cbs sunday morning." >> i went one time for 13 days without sleeping and smoking crack and drinking vodka, exclusively, throughout that

>> mr. president! >> reporter: and while the president had no comment about his son today, he has long defended him. >> first of all, my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him. >> reporter: but hunter biden could still face more charges for alleged tax violations. >> today's news about this indictment being filed, unfortunately for hunter biden, it's probably the first chapter in what could be a long book. >> reporter: based on the court records, those tax charges could be filed here in washington, d.c., or california, where hunter biden lives. irs whistle-blowers first told cbs news that they believe the evidence supports serious felony tax violations, norah. >> norah: catherine herridge, thank you. well, switching gears now to what could be the first-ever strike against detroit's big three automakers all at the same time. nearly 150,000 uaw members are threatening to walk off the job just hours from now without a new contract. cbs's kris van cleave reports from the motor city that a work

stoppage would have a negative effect across the entire economy. >> reporter: countdown to a shutdown. without a deal, autoworkers will go on strike at ford, gm, and stellantis plants at midnight. negotiations appear to be stalled. >> the big three can afford to immediately give us our fair share. if they choose not to, then they are choosing to strike themselves. >> i think they are preparing for a historic strike with all three companies. >> reporter: ford ceo jim farley. >> what their initial offer was is to pay our hourly workers about $300,000 each and to work four days. that would basically put our company out of business. >> reporter: do you feel this

has been a good-faith negotiation? >> it is hard to say what were because we have never really seen this before. >> reporter: the uaw is seeking up a 40% raise. the automakers are offering half that. also on the wish list, a 32-hour work week and the return of pensions, nonstarters for the companies. also, phasing out concessions made in 2008, when the car makers teetered on the verge of collapse. the big three are on a roll of big profits over the last decade. more than $20 billion so far this year alone. >> corporate greed is the problem. and our membership is fed up and fired up. [applause] >> reporter: the fight is playing out as the auto industry is going through a major shift to electric vehicles. evs require less labor to manufacture and workers tend not to be unionized, meaning labor costs for competitors are significantly less. >> we are falling behind further and further. >> reporter: a friday strike would leave third-generation autoworkers zach van fleet living off $500 a week in strike pay, which doesn't go far for a family of four. how long until you start to really feel that pinch? >> honestly, i don't think it would take long at all. if we do go out, how long is it going to take to get a deal? >> reporter: the uaw says

without a deal, it will strike key plants belonging to all three automakers and then expand if necessary. >> it is a dangerous thing to say you're going to strike just some plants and not others because that is not how the industry can operate, and you will see more than just those plants shut down. >> reporter: economists say even a relatively short 10-day strike against all three automakers could cost $5.6 billion. tonight, we are learning president biden has spoke with union leaders and executives at the big three, trying to find out how to unstall these stalled negotiations. norah? >> norah: kris van cleave, thank you. turning now to the weather and hurricane lee as it moves across the atlantic and closes in on new england. the category 1 storm is currently located west of bermuda, lashing the island with strong winds and pounding waves. in maine, residents are not taking any chances. they are pulling their boats out of the water to protect them from getting damaged or destroyed, with waves up to 20 feet expected to slam the coast. meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel is following the storm's latest track. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. tropical storm conditions are expected up and down the

new england coast. even though much of the u.s. is out of the cone, the storm will be getting bigger. also have to monitor the potential for some flooding, with some of the rain with this system. here's a look at those tropical alerts, from southern massachusetts, all the way up through coastal maine, even inland from down east maine, it could have some strong tropical storm force winds. as far as the worst of the weather, look for things to go downhill tomorrow night. high tide could lead to some coastal flooding on saturday, with winds peaking friday night, norah, into saturday afternoon with dramatic improvements at least on land by sunday. >> norah: chris, thank you. tonight, the faa is investigating the rapid descent of a united airlines jet overnight. pilots on the flight from newark, new jersey, to rome lost cabin pressure about 50 minutes into the flight, and they had to circle back to the airport for an emergency landing. now the flight map shows the plane dropped about 30,000 feet

in altitude in just 7 minutes before safely landing. no injuries were reported. now to the cyber attack causing havoc at mgm resorts nationwide. hackers have crippled the company's computer systems, shutting down casino slot machines, atms, and even guest room doors in hotels from vegas to atlantic city. cbs's elise preston reports from las vegas, where the fbi is investigating this multimillion dollar hack. >> reporter: mgm resorts is not only one of the biggest players on the las vegas strip, it's nevada's largest employer. and tonight, it's paralyzed. casinos filled with nonworking slot machines, computers and phone lines are down, and frustration is growing. >> you don't know what you are dealing with, right? you don't know how much is compromised and how much is not compromised. >> i don't even want to pay with my card right now. i'm scared that they are going to hack all of our information.

>> reporter: a group that reports on cyberattacks claims that all hackers did to compromise mgm resorts was hop on linkedin, find an employee, then call the help desk. how was this even carried out? >> well, it's still not clear. >> reporter: cbs news cybersecurity expert chris krebs says several recent cyberattacks may have been homegrown. >> we have built up this kind of mythology around ransomware operators being eastern europeans or russians hiding under the skirt of putin and the kremlin. it may be that there were also americans involved in these most recent attacks. >> reporter: according to bloomberg, a few weeks ago, caesars entertainment paid about $15 million ransom to restore its systems. the company confirms that attackers breached loyalty customer data, including driver's license and social security numbers, but has taken steps to ensure that the stolen data is deleted by the unauthorized actor. >> even if you are able to get some of these folks, another is going to pop up right behind them because they have been able to demonstrate that it is a very lucrative profession, that cyber crime pays, and it pays very, very well.

>> reporter: krebs says you can increase your own cybersecurity. keep your phones up to date with the latest protective software. when conducting business online, make sure you are using legitimate websites. and if shopping online, use norah? >> norah: good information. elise preston, thank you so much. tonight, new details about that dangerous fugitive who was captured outside of philadelphia on wednesday after a two-week manhunt. danelo cavalcante was discovered by thermal imaging and then subdued by a police dog named yoda. the u.s. marshall says cavalcante told investigators he was planning to carjack someone and was hoping to travel to canada, and then possibly puerto rico. the convicted killer also telling officers, they nearly stepped on him multiple times during the search while he was hiding under leaves and brush, and that he survived on watermelons and stream water. well, he is now being held in a maximum-security prison awaiting new charges from his time on the run.

[applaususe] ththis is the moment we haveve n

waiting and hoping for... his journey from the depths of the earth finally came to its end. to what extent will this ordeal stop you from going back into the earth? >> no extent whatsoever. >> reporter: i e expected that answer. [laughter] to that end, why do you love doing this so much? >> this is one of the last frontiers of exploration. the places that i'm getting too are so challenging, so difficult, it is like climbing mount everest. you can get to amazing places. >> reporter: and back. >> and back. >> reporter: and mark told me he will be staying here until next week for more scans, but next month is already on his mind, norah, and his next caving adventure. >> norah: just incredible. ramy inocencio, thank you. tonight, a staggering new death toll from monday's catastrophic floods along libya's mediterranean coast. the libyan red crescent aid organization says more than 11,000 are dead in the city of derna, with another 10,000 still unaccounted for. new video shows the devastation. some survivors say the only warning they received to

not just anybody's history. >> right. >> reporter: this is -- >> my family history. >> reporter: among those enslaved indigo workers, her great-great-grandmother. >> because they were humiliated, and now i am being honored. and me being honored is like them being honored, as well. i don't think they ever would have thought in a million years they would have a descendant creating things like this. >> reporter: her company, genotype, sells indigo-based skincare and medicinal products for psoriasis, peptic ulcers, bronchitis. annual sales top $1 million. immerse it? >> immerse it down in. >> reporter: down the road, precious jennings grows indigo to process its natural dye powder. think of it as farm to fabric, digging for healing in the dirt of a former plantation. >> every day i come onto this land, i honor and think about and give gratitude to the people that were here and enslaved on this land. >> reporter: myers wants to pass her business and family history to her three sons. >> if they keep this business alive, it won't disappear. >> reporter: keep growing the indigo? >> mm-hmm. >> reporter: the history stays alive.
